Barack Obama is going to make a move on tightening gun restrictions after the holiday season ends. That’s what senior congressional aides and some in the gun-control community are promising will happen after the President returns from a holiday vacation in Hawaii in January.
The San Bernardino shooting prompted a legal review of the current gun control laws, “scrubbing through the law” as White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, put it. Ostensibly, the review is to help Obama find ways to limit weapon access to terrorists and future potential mass shooters, but the fallout of any executive action will inevitably limit every citizen’s access to firearms.
While it is currently uncertain what the President can realistically impose as far as gun control, both sides in the capitol believe, as one senior house GOP leadership aide put it, “something is brewing on guns.” As the New Hampshire primaries approach, Obama will do everything he can to shore up support among establishment Democrats, including affecting seriously harmful executive impositions on citizens’ rights.

Wayne Hancock Why bother to comment with a idotic statement like that, an accident is NOT an intentional murder. Lets see if you get in a car accident with your children and they die, you won’t need it but lets give you a mandatory death sentence just to make sure you are really sorry and didn’t intentionally do it just cause you are so stupid to own a car.
Exactly who is “you people”?
Actually not really Richard, its not patriotic to support a traitor, but you need to be smart enough to recognize one.
hes just not cool anymore
He is the one NOSTRADOMUS predicted … the great deceiver .. a silver tounged devil …. the blue turbon has appeared in the east … it’s the Un
hope he gets a very lazy security detail…and i pray there is some hillbilly redneck who wants his name to go down in history as the man who shot the first and last black American president.
one term senator, shows you people just wanted to act not racist and vote in the first “black” prez, but hes not afro american, he’s Muslim. afro-americans have names like leroy or reggee, not barak or obama and his middle name? is not what afro-americans name there kids, hussein, now thats really not an american name……..now we have to be afraid of our president, great job voting public. vote for the best person for the job next time, not because of the color of his skin, jokers.
And while we’re at it, why not fix the holes in the laws that make the entire black market on guns federally LEGAL, by holding private sellers to the same standards as dealers… Yeah, it won’t solve all criminals getting guns, but the added difficulty will stop a good amount, and this would probably raise the street value of these guns.
And let’s get a consistent set of laws across every state. Chicago proves that our system now fails. It’s hard for a criminal to get a gun in Illinois, but if you live in Chicago, IMMEDIATELY outside your city is a way more liberal state with their gun laws. Trust me, it’s not a coincidence that Chicago has a gun crime problem. You literally just cross a bridge in your city and you can get around every single law in your state.
The way our laws work now, what’s the point of even having them at all? If I can have someone buy an entire collection of guns in TX, then “move” to NJ, where registering his guns is optional when he moves here, and then sell me his entire collection, why bother with all of my state’s laws? Screw it, let’s just let felons buy guns, at least that way, we can tax the sales, instead of just letting them easily buy them illegally from someone selling to them legally. Ofc, some of you will give your anecdotal story about how you have to get a background check when you buy at a show, or how private dealers are supposed to check for an ID…. That’s your STATE law, not every state follows that law. Most follow the federal law of basically long as they don’t tell you they can’t legally own a gun, and you’re not stupid enough to ask, you can sell to ANYONE. Like, know the laws where you have to be 18? In most states, private sellers don’t even have to check to make sure you’re 18. But sell a pack of cigarettes to someone underage and you’re screwed.
It’s incredible how against disarming people who will use the guns for crimes you guys are. Nobody is claiming you can stop all gun crimes, that’s impossible. But why not start with making it harder for criminals to get those guns? If just 1 kid doesn’t have to get shot for going to school because of something as simple as consistent laws between every state, then it’s a success. Unless you’re OK with the idea of your kid being able to be shot when he goes to school. Luckily, though, teachers are magically immune from snapping and deciding to start shooting at their classroom, so arming every teacher is the obvious solution in that case, because there will NEVER be a story about a teacher deciding he wants to die, and he’s gonna bring a few kids with him. Besides almost every major shooting, this never happens.
I support Obama. Lets stop killing 32,000 Americans a year.
Unfortunately Alec these actions won’t stop anything. They don’t target criminals. In fact Obama protects criminals
